Operation Manual

When iPhone is joined to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar at the top
of the screen shows signal strength. The more bars you see, the stronger the signal.
Set iPhone to ask if you want to join a new network
When you are trying to access the Internet, by using Safari or Mail for example, and you
are not in range of a Wi-Fi network you have previously used, this option tells iPhone to
look for another network. iPhone displays a list of all available Wi-Fi networks that you
can choose from. (Networks that require a password appear with a lock icon.) If “Ask to
Join New Networks” is turned off, you must manually join a network to connect to the
Internet when neither a previously used network nor cellular network is available.
m Choose Wi-Fi and turn “Ask to Join Networks” on or off. If you turn “Ask to Join
Networks” off, you must join new networks manually.
Forget a network, so iPhone doesn’t join it automatically
Choose Wi-Fi and tap next to a network you’ve joined before. Then tap “Forget this
Network.”
m
Join a closed Wi-Fi network (an available Wi-Fi network that isn’t shown in the list of
scanned networks)
m Choose Wi-Fi > Other and enter the network name. If the network requires a password,
tap Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and enter the password.
You must already know the network name, password, and security type to connect to a
closed network.
Some Wi-Fi networks may require you to enter or adjust additional settings, such as a
client ID or static IP address. Ask the network administrator which settings to use.
Adjust settings to connect to a Wi-Fi network
m Choose Wi-Fi, then tap next to a network.
Carrier
This setting appears when you’re outside of your carrier’s network and other local
carrier networks are available to use for your phone calls, visual voicemail, and cellular
network Internet connections. You can make calls only on carriers that have roaming
agreements with your carrier. Additional fees may apply. Roaming charges may be
billed to you by the carrier of the selected network, through your carrier.
For information about out-of-network coverage and how to enable roaming, contact
your carrier or go to your carrier’s website.
Select a carrier for phone calls
m Choose Carrier and select the network you want to use.
